Gaming keyboard with a sd card reader

[Stan Harris]

Not shore where to post this but I am wanting to get a good gaming keyboard but I need one that has a built in sd card reader because my pc doesn't have a sd card reader in it and I photoshop alot.

why dont you just get a front bay device sd card reader?

or external sd card reader?

 

[Stan Harris]

Was already thinking of that but would be convenient if they made one with sd reader built in.

i've never heard of a "gaming keyboard" with an internal sd card reader.

i've heard of a few with usb ports (and i suppose you could connect up an external reader to that) however thats about it.

Well do you know of a good keyboard for gaming or media that is less then $60 or the cheapest good mechanical keyboard that you can think of with macro keys

 

[ssddx]

you wont find any major brand mechanical keyboard for that price, let alone one with macro keys.
-the ducky zero is about $86 but is barebones without macro keys.
-corsair k90 is $140 but does have macro keys
-corsair k95 is $150 but does have macro keys
-logitech g710+ is $150 but does have macro keys

its even hard to find a decent gaming keyboard for that price
-logitech g15 is $80 but does have macro keys (but only just a few)
-logitech g110 is $80 but does have macro keys
-logitech g510 is $110 but does have macro keys

----------------------------------------------

honestly the only ones i know of which arent some junk brand is the

microsoft sidewinder x4 for $50

----------------------------------------------

you could also use the program autohotkeys to program your own macros using existing keys on the keyboard. for example you could make the numberpad buttons turn into macro keys or the fkeys turn into macro keys. this function can then be enabled/disabled with just a certain key combination pressed on the keyboard.

I have another question how about a good gaming mouse for under $50

I have another question how about a good gaming mouse for under $50

Razor death adder. Goes on sale for 49.99. No competition. Best gaming mouse ever.

 

[ssddx]

razer deathadder 3.5g (the old one with the blue glowing leds) since it doesnt have to use razer synapse (it has actual drivers)

logitech gaming mice, the corsair gaming mice, if you dont mind synapse (which is invasive and a pain) then the newer razer gaming mice, i've heard that roccat isnt bad as well. avoid the r.a.t. mice like the plague.

you will have to sort through whats $50 and under though.

i know that i've seen the deathadder for less though.

Sorry but I have another question gaming keypad vs good old fashioned keyboards are gaming keypads worth buying

 

[ssddx]

well, that depends on your playstyle.

there are two main choices

logitech g13
razer nostromo

the razer is more comfortable however the analog stick is only a 4 way (essentially a d-pad or similar to arrow keys or wasd)

the logitech is not as comfortable and the thumbstick is very small and uncomfortable (requires a mod to make it comfortable) however logitech developed analog support for it (true any direction movement)

whether this matters or not depends on what you use it for. if you want it to act as a 4 way toggle then its fine in any way. if you wanted it to act as a omnidirectional direction input for rpg games then you want true analog. if you want to use it in shooters then a dpad works out fine.

i tried out the nostromo for tera online (rpg) and it worked alright (d-pad only) but i could have used a true analog stick and didnt want to mod the g13. i also did not buy the g13 because it was uncomfortable. the nostromo was comfortable but really didnt do what i needed it to (personal preferences)

i ended up using a ps3 controller and moitioninjoy software combined with my motherboards bluetooth feature to play the rpg. true analog sticks absolutely rock for rpgs. dpad is no substitute. for a fps game however a dpad would be superior but chances are you would use the main pad for movement like wasd/arrow keys would be on the keyboard and use the stick just for toggles.

i personally like using the arrow keys and shift/ctrl/enter and numpad etcetera for shooters and most games which require such input. it works out pretty good. analog stick might work good for games which support it like rpgs or perhaps action games.

TLDR:

depends on the type of games you play as well as personal preferences.

also depends on what you find comfortable and if you need true analog support or not.

i didnt mention the new razer gaming pad because its junk compared to the nostromo. so uncomfortable and the thumbstick is much too stiff.
